I can't really comment on what you say, but according
to Issaries (TM, all rights reserved, home taping
killed music in the 1970s, DVD piracy is funding Osama
Bin Laden) website:
"The License is your friend."
Remember that and invite him or her 'round for drinks
some time.
Cheers,
Ash
PS: And, I'm allowed another 245 words before I have
to apply for a license, unless I associate it with
something pornographic. However, coming from the UK,
much of what the US might count as porn counts as art
- "Cor, look at the brushstrokes on that! The use of
shadow is so good you almost can't see the
vibration!".
PPS: That's unless this is a parody in which case I'm
allowed normal copyright fair use. However, I'd
imagine it's very hard to parody something so bloody
incomprehensible.
